About Leanne
Leanne Glennon is a BACP counsellor who draws on 17 years of experience to support people facing anxiety, stress, trauma and grief. She places the relationship with each person at the centre of the work and aims to create a collaborative space where people feel heard.
She sees clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, and offers therapy informed by evidence-based techniques. She combines trauma-focused and trauma-informed approaches when needed.
Background and approach
That can mean beginning with safety and stabilisation, then moving into remembering and processing, and later reconnecting and integrating what has been learned. Leanne has particular experience supporting people who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic abuse and complex bereavement. Her practice uses a mix of talking therapies, cognitive behavioural approaches such as CBT and trauma-focused CBT, emotion-focused work and creative techniques.
Sessions aim to help people understand how the nervous system and memory can be affected by difficult experiences, and to build practical ways to manage distress. Leanne also has experience with self-harm and researched therapists' experiences of working with self-harm for her MSc thesis. She uses that background to approach these topics thoughtfully and carefully.
She emphasises co-production - working together to identify goals and find solutions. Leanne describes people as the experts in their own life stories and focuses on building strengths without judgement. Therapy can be challenging at times, and she aims to support and empower people through the process.

How Leanne works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your history, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy lives and make it easier to keep appointments. It may reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, or offer options that suit different schedules and energy levels. The biography does not list which formats are used here, so confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
